Username and Password system

bullelk12

Alright, so, if my understanding of how cloud variables will work is correct, then this project will show how to make a Username and Password system with fake cloud variables. By fake I mean normal variables with the “*Cloud” next to their name. This marks that this variable will be a cloud variable when cloud variables are enabled. Go ahead and check it out: Username/Password

Read the instructions and notes for more details.

Impressive

Good job

Suggestion: Have it correlate to your User ID so that it has its own reserved slot.

The problem with usernames and passwords (rather than user IDs) is that anyone can see inside the project and show the password list.

, yea, I was thinking about that. I was thinking I would try to encrypt it somehow, but someone may be able to crack the code.

I believe that I fixed it, not positive though. I added a third parameter cloud list that corresponds with the Username and Password lists. Now, when the player registers, it also adds he/she's UserID to a cloud list. So it doesn't matter if they know the password and username because they would also need to have the same UserID when they login, which is not possible. So I think it's fixed, any comments?

I just don't see why you need passwords if you can verify their identity with the user id block…

bullelk12

yea, I know. It sort of defeats the purpose. However, having a username and password system can make the project seem more… I don't know, cliche I guess, lol. Just has a more natural feeling about it I guess.

You could easily subtract the username and password altogether and just keep the UserID. Then you would automatically login, which would be interesting. So that's the other side of the scale. More simple vs more natural.

Yeah, that's an interesting point. It does make the project seem more “application-y.” Automatic login can be really nice, though.

bullelk12

well, here's an idea that molds both ideas together. There could be a check box that says “would you like to auto login?”, and if it's selected then it would automatically login the player.

hi gys this is my first time on scrach.

For the lists you could make this script:

Then hide the script somewhere in your project.
